I kind of wish you would break down updates into smaller pieces and spread them out over time. 1 update a month that Firefox actually can not finish loading makes no sense to me.

Firefox loads them fine for me. Heck, IE 6 loads them fine for me, and that's on a work connection that only works maybe half the time thanks to lovely Websense filtering.

Actually, that sounds just like my internet connection on a bad day. Sometimes it times out when you load too many items at once, like when you have some 4 updates in a row. I think it's my crappy router.

My loads fine, though it throws off the "jump to last read post" thing and when there's only one or two new posts it can be annoying to wait for every picture to load just to check them. Then again I often end up re-reading the updates, and certainly can tolerate a slight bit of annoyance for the sake of an update.

---------- VIDEO ALERT!Ending the fight the only way we know how. (Hint: It involves violence.) Google Version! ----------  ---- [Ayame]  Of you, or of-- [Ogami]  Them! Of THEM! We were just talking about it all of two minutes ago!! [Ayame] Alright, I just wanted to make sure. [Ayame] ... [Ayame] Are you CERTAIN that you don't want-- [Ogami]  YES, WE'RE SURE. [Yoneda]  Man, you spoil those kids rotten. Why, back in MY day... ----  [Ayame]  Shogeimaru, prepare to fire!  ----  ----  ----  ----  ----  ---- [Ogami] "Fairly weakened"? You purged them with cleansing fire from the bleeding heavens! How are they still alive!? [Ayame] They're like cockroaches, Ogami-kun: they're nasty and they just don't die. [Ogami]  And how'd you manage to not turn all the buildings around them into a smoking crater? [Ayame] See the above answer. [Ogami] ... cockroaches? [Ayame] Let's just say that I never liked this godforsaken street and leave it at that, Ogami-kun. Darned overpricing bastards. ----  ----  Now, at least, even though WE'RE hurting...  ... they're hurting WORSE.  [Maria]  Understood!  ---- [Ogami]  Ha ha, that's great, Iris, I-- [Iris]  Cut these hairless apes down a peg! [Ogami] ... wait, what? [Iris]  You all cheated! [Maria] Iris, it's only cheating if the demons do it. It's called a hot-blooded climactic reversal when humans do it. [Iris]  Ooooh. [Ogami]  ... we're horrible cheating bastards, aren't we, Maria? [Maria] Yes, Captain. Yes, we are. ----  Their health isn't chopped down by too much, but...  ----  Their defense has been sapped, too. This stage has gone from a gauntlet to a cakewalk. [Ogami]  Thanks to the Shogeimaru's bombardment... it looks like we'll be able to take them down somehow. However... even so, these things... they're much too powerful!! We shouldn't push ourselves... guess this means that we've got no choice but to defeat these guys methodically, huh...  Methodically? Screw that AND gently caress defense, we're running the Fire strategy so that we can wrap this up as quickly as possible.  ----  [Kanna]  Your luck ran out-- you got me as your opponent. We're taking these bastards to school.  ----  ----  ----  ... y'know, after all the poo poo that the Kouma have put us through, I can't help but think that we ARE cheating pretty horribly here.  ----  ----  And that, as they say, was the end of that.

----------VIDEO ALERT! The epilogue! ... such as it is, of course. Google Version! ----------  ---- [Ayame] For chrissake, Ogami-kun, they're called Kouma. K-O-U-M-A. We've only been talking about them for the entire battle. [Ogami] N... no, ma'am, I've been asking that in the "why the hell" sense, not the "what're they called again?" sense. ----  ----  ----  Which was indeed hinted at earlier in the chapter.  ---- [Ogami] Well, hey, Kohran, it's a good thing that the Koubu were able to last through the entire battle without incident, right? [Kohran]  You betcher boots, Ogami-han! And it's a good thing that there ain't any baddies left t' push us right over th' edge~! ----  ----  ---- [Ogami] Dammit. [Kohran]  Yeah, Ah figured that somethin' like this'd happen. [Maria]  Then why the hell did you-- [Kohran]  Dramatic timing. It'd be better t' bait th' drat thing out now rather than when we're flyin' home in our big vulnerable 'splodey blimp. ----  ----  Welp, it's the ranged ones that're up to bat, with Maria blasting away like some badass Russian version of Quick Draw McGraw.  ---- [Ogami] Um... Maria, you DO know that this isn't the shooting booth and that you don't have any excuse for failing at-- [Maria]  ... [Ogami] N-Nevermind. ----  ----  ---- [Kohran]  Quantity over quality, Maria-han! That's th' spirit of China right there. [Ogami] ... is that really something to brag about, Kohran? ----  WHOOSH  One punch in the face...  ----  ... and a second one immediately afterward.  [Maria]  Tsk...  ---- [Ogami]  Sakura! Iris! You're up!! ----  ----  CLANG  THWOCK ---- [Maria] Captain... was it really such a bright idea to send our only major healer to fight face-to-face with the demon that specializes in melee fighting? [Ogami] I was... kind of hoping that Iris'd have been able to pull some special demon-talking power and make it not attack us or something. [Iris]  What? They aren't even the right type of demon! [Ogami] Huh? Er, wait, that's not-- [Iris] Are you saying that all demons everywhere are the same, Oniichan!? Speciesist! Speciesist!! [Ogami] ... can we finish this conversation when we AREN'T all about to die? -- Sumire! Kanna! I choose you! ----  And here come the cavalry.  ... the burning super-powered face-punching building-jumping steampunk cavalry from hell.  ---- [Sumire]  Take this! Dance of the-- ----  ----  KER-PUNCH ---- [Ogami] ... goddamn it, Sumire, please stop failing. [Sumire]  W-Well, perhaps if you actually DID something instead of standing back and issuing orders, Ensign... ----  Meanwhile...  ... Kanna, having catapulted herself a good six stories up...  ... is in the process...  ... of deciding the outcome of this battle...  ... all on her freakin' own.  Well, except for the one little bit that she needs Ogami's help for.  ---- [Maria] ... Captain, maybe we shouldn't have attacked the Kouma one or two at a time? [Ogami] Nonsense, Maria, we're like NPC ninjas: when we're all massed together against one opponent, we're bound to get our asses kicked. But when we get our chance to shine alone... ----  ----  ----  ----  ----  ---- [Ogami] ... we are unbeatable gods. [Maria] You just wanted a chance to look cool and get the finishing blow, didn't you. ----  ---- [Ogami] ... maaaaaybe. Also, ow. ----  ----  ----  Fzt.  ----  Fzt crackle pop.  ----  ---- [Ogami] Y'know, maybe if you hadn't hinted at it so strongly earlier today... [Kohran] ... it woulda happened anyway, 'cept you'd be scratchin' yer lil' head over th' fact that th' plot twist came outta nowhere. [Ogami] Well... yeah, you're probably right. ----  ... the Koubu's seen better days. [Maria]  The Koubu have broken down, haven't they... [Kanna]  Yeah... we've been together a long time, but they aren't usable anymore, huh. [Kohran]  *Sniff*... th' base machines an' their equipment've long since passed their limits. These kids really worked hard. Now... rest easy, an' good night. My "Koubu"... [Sumire]  ... even so, those monsters' attacks wrecked our armor. What in the world ARE they? [Ogami] If those creatures appear again... ---- [Kohran] ... [Ogami] What're we gonna do? We can't use our Koubu, and we don't have any way of fighting against the Kouma. I mean, it's not like we're going to be able to get a Get Out Of Jail Free card or a set of Deus Ex Machinas or whatever, so-- ---- Spirit Armor fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Apr 8, 2013 |

All of Ohgami's upgrades have a flight theme, at least since they started personalizing the models in ST3 (and these remakes of course). His Koubu-F2 had jet turbines, his Koubu-Nishiki had articulated rocket boosters, this new one has the flying wing. If they ever remake ST2, I wonder what the Tenbu'll look like...

----------VIDEO ALERT! If this was an anime series, this is where we'd get a new opening sequence. ... since this is very obviously an anime-style game, we get a new opening anyway. Most of the scenes are slight variations of the first opening; the biggest changes are near the very end. Google Version! ----------  Once again, without any preface whatsoever, the game launches right into what could be the most worryingly-named chapter yet. I mean, the least they could do was tell us what SORT of gods were stopping by for brunch. Old Testament? New Testament? Cthulhu-esque?  [Newspaper] January 2nd - Imperial Capital Daily Report - Newspaper Extra "A New Enemy Appears" - "Meiji Shrine Thrown Into Chaos" Headlines: Grotesque monstrosities appear at the Meiji Shrine. A difficult struggle for the Imperial Assault Force, Flower Division. Grotesque monsters appeared within the Meiji Shrine area, which was bustling due to the New Year. Chaos reigned for roughly one hour. The Imperial Assault Force, Flower Division, sortied. The creatures were repelled, but the damage was still considerable. Have the spirit armor units "Koubu" been irreparably damaged? At the appearance of these new enemies, the citizens of the Imperial Capital have been unable to hide their shock.  [Ogami]  Urk...  Well. Going from top to bottom... 1) this would probably be a bad time for Ogami to grow some balls, 2) an even worse time for self-  ... it might be better to just plead the Fifth and be done with it. [Ogami]  ... I have no excuses to offer. [Yoneda]  Honestly... to think that you'd go and lose all of the tiger-model spirit armor units... [Ogami] It's shameful... [Yoneda] Listen up, Ogami! Just when they thought the Hive of Darkness was over, the citizens of the Imperial Capital are shivering in fear at this new threat...  ---- [Ogami] I see... so you're telling me this because we've failed in our duty to protect the populace, and-- [Yoneda]  What? What? No, I don't care about the POPULACE, I care about the fact that no one's coming to our theater so we're not making any money!! [Ogami]  ... what? B-but, honor and duty and-- [Yoneda] Look, since when have I ever cared about the populace OR about any of that stuff? [Ogami] When it means that we... aren't making money? [Yoneda] Precisely, m'boy. You're an idjit, but at least you're learning. ----  [Yoneda] I can't help that my stomach's gonna start hurting right off the bat. [Ogami] Isn't that... because you drink too much alcohol...? [Yoneda] Hah? ... didja say something? [Ogami]  N... no!! It was nothing! Aah, such a wonderfully psychotic working relationship these people have. [Yoneda] Got it, Ogami!? Just because you took down the Hive of Darkness doesn't mean that you can get lazy from all this peace! If you keep up this shameful behaviour and get it exposed to the public, you'll be demoted to full-time ticket-taker! ---- [Ogami] ... [Ogami] Wait, that phrasing... does that mean that I might be able to engage in shameful behavior as long as it doesn't get exposed to the public? [Yoneda]  Yeah, sure, why not? As long as you can figure out how to kill those damned monsters, I don't really give half a-- [Ayame]  Ahem. [Yoneda] -- of COURSE not, you 'orrible 'uman being! Full-time ticket-taker. [Ogami] But I'm already technically a-- [Yoneda] Full-time ticket-taker. [Ogami] Wait, doesn't that mean that I won't have to risk life and limb fighting frightening monsters and trying to wrangle six equally-frightening women-- [Yoneda] Full-time ticket-taker's pay. [Ogami] But I'm not actually GETTING-- [Ayame] We could always do this the hard way, Ogami-kun. [Ogami] ... ---- [Ogami] F... full-time ticket-taker!? [Yoneda] If you don't want that to happen, then hurry up and think up some countermeasures against those kinds of monstrous opponents! [Ogami] Y-Yessir! ... please excuse me! And then he gets the hell out of dodge. [Ayame]  Heheheheh... Commander, weren't you just a bit too threatening? [Yoneda] That was just right to clear up a head all dulled by New Year's foolishness. Also... The trick is to never forget about war. We can't let our guard down even in times of peace...  [Yoneda] Aoi Satan... he might be more of a problem than Tenkai, huh... [Ayame] ........  And now for a sudden change of scenery! ... given how many times they rely on scene shifts, I can't even BEGIN to imagine how irritating it would be if they'd put in a voice-over'd "MEANWHILE" every single time it happened. [Kouma]  Ggshaa! [Satan]  At last, the time has come for you lot to ascend to the surface...  [Satan]  However, we must first consign to oblivion all those who would stand in our way...  [Kouma] Ggshaa! ---- [Ino]  And, uh, our orders, sir? [Satan] Holy freaking crap, are you guys trying to give me a loving heart attack? When the hell did you guys GET here? [Shika]  We've... we've been here the entire time, sir. All fifteen hours. [Satan] Really? Huh. Anyway, uh, go do whatever it is you guys do best. Rape some villages, pillage some women... [Chou]  ... [Satan] Or, uh, or some men... [Ino] ... [Satan] Or the opposite gender of whatever blasted species you circus freaks are supposed to be. [Ino] Y... yessir.  ----  MEANWHILE! We snap back to the good guys. And despite the fact that Satan's crew was fully prepared to start wrecking the Imperial Capital again, we don't hear from them for a good long while.  [Ogami] Kouma...  Once again, we're treated to a badass, though somewhat recycled, still shot of a time when the band got back together and decided to go into hand-to-hand combat with creatures that tore apart our penultimate steam-powered power suits. Ha ha ha... man, we suck. [Ogami] Six years ago... the Kouma that were sealed deep within the earth by Lt. General Yoneda and the others from the Imperial Army's Anti-Demon Brigade... ... have now been ressurected back to the Imperial Capital by Aoi Satan...  As if to punctuate the greatest understatement ever known to mankind, someone knocks on the door. [Ogami]  Yes, I'll be right there...  [Ogami] ... what's wrong, Kohran? [Kohran]  ... Ah got somethin' Ah need t' talk with you about. 's it a'right... if Ah come in? [Ogami] ... sure. Come on in. They go on in. HOWEVER...  [Sumire]  Kohran... I wonder what she intends to talk with the Ensign about, this late at night... ---- [Sumire]  After all, it is most certainly not eavesdropping. It's the buddy system! **TWO WEEKS AGO** [Maria]  Now, the basics of the buddy system is to ensure that none of us will go anywhere alone with the Captain without one of us monitoring the situation at all times. For his protection. [Kanna]  And for our own protection, too, because we don't know what he might try to do to one of us. [Sumire] Precisely. [Kohran] Yup. O-Of cour-- ohgodAhcan'tpffft-- [Everyone]       Bwahahahahahahaha!! [Maria] ... anyway, yes, it's for his own protection. So, are we all in agreement? [Sakura]  What if we're discussing something delicate with Ogami-san, or, like... what if you went out on a date with him or something, Maria-san? [Maria]  We'll deal with that on a case-by-case basis. Also, the only way I would agree to something as absurd as a date with the Captain would be if SOMEONE continued sneaking antidepressants into my morning tea. Stop it. [Kohran] C'mon, Maria-han, My Mr. Happy Pills've been a change for th' better for ya! [Maria] Making me as brain-dead as a giddy schoolgirl is NOT a change for the better, Kohran. Buddy system is go, meeting is adjourned. ----  [Kohran] Cuttin' straight to th' point... th' chance that we'll be able t' repair th' Koubu is pretty slim. [Ogami] What was that?  [Kohran]  And t' tell you th' truth, even if we manage t' get th' Koubu repaired... Ah don't think they'll be able t' beat our opponents next time. [Ogami] ... which means that we'll need weapons a level above the Koubu... won't we.  [Kohran] Developin' new spirit armor units, armin' 'em, maintenance... even Ah don't know jes' how much money that'll all cost. On top of that, all th' Koubu were annihilated... an' finally, thanks to our new enemies, th' Imperial Capital's economy's in tatters. At a time like this, we don't have th' ability t' make new Koubu... ---- [Ogami] ... actually, I was thinking less "make new Koubu" and more "make more Shogeimaru Bombardment Cannons." [Kohran] We wouldn't be a mecha-pilotin' group anymore, Ogami-han. [Ogami] Oh c'mon, just make a few cannons, slap a few wheels on them, and let us drive them around the next time any Kouma drop by! There wouldn't be anything left of those demons! [Kohran] Look at it this way: do ya really WANT t' have seven Ayames drivin' around Japan? [Ogami] ... jesus loving christ I retract my previous argument. ---- [Ogami] So it's a problem of funding, huh... Clatter [Ogami]  ... hm!?  [Ogami] No, it's... didn't you hear something just now?  [Ogami]  Probably...  [Ogami] Well... I'm kind of worried about how everyone's doing, so I'm going to go talk to them for a bit. [Kohran]  Yeah, that's right... might be a good idea t' go an' talk to Yoneda-han an' Ayame-han, while yer at it. [Ogami] Right then, I'm off. Kohran... make sure to get some rest. [Kohran] Ah ain't really feelin' all that sleepy, but... y'know... good night. And with that, she takes her leave as well. ---- [Ogami] Welp, I just finished a conversation with Kohran without falling into a suspiciously unnatural sleep, with all of my organs intact, and without any strange foreign objects inserted into various parts of my body. [Ogami] ... [Ogami] Holy poo poo, no WONDER something felt off. ----  And free roam begins. Thankfully, there's not all that much going on, so I'll have time to talk to every character and then some.  To warm up, I suppose it would be best to start with one of the most easily-read characters in the game.  ---- [Ogami]  That's what SHE said! [Ogami] ... [Ogami] Wait, that really doesn't work in this situation, does it. [Kanna] Not really, no. ---- [Ogami] Nope... just doing the nightly rounds and seeing how everyone's doing.  [Kanna] THOSE are our new enemies...? I can't believe they're really that strong... they're really monsters.  [Ogami] Kanna... It's really not a good sign when your most bloodthirsty underling suddenly loses her confidence.  ... and it's even weirder when the LEAST bloodthirsty character is the one to provide an emergency transfusion of hot-blooded manliness. [Ogami] I won't... I won't give up! No matter what happens, we will protect the peace in the Imperial Capital.  [Ogami] ... Kanna. You will be a part of that effort, won't you?  Problem solved! And her trust level spikes. [Ogami] ... thank you.  [Kanna]  A life lived without any regrets... well, you can't call something like that "living." People are creatures that regret... regret... and regret some more. [Ogami] Live and... regret?  ---- [Ogami] By regretting that they were ever born? [Kanna] ... I should probably expand on that, shouldn't I. [Ogami] It might help a bit more if you started explaining your reasoning from the ground up, actually. ---- [Kanna] To regret something... is to recognize that you've made a mistake. And that... you can surmount it.  [Ogami] Yeah, that's right. Kanna... let's do our best.  ----  One down, five to go. NEXT TIME: Punching women in the face for a good cause!, C'MON TELL ME HUH HUH C'MOOOOOOON, and the reason why I have so much freaking trouble gauging Sumire's reactions.

I'm assuming that the transition from dudes-with-swords to armored-mecha-team was less of a cost issue and more of a "hey, it'd sure be nice if we didn't lose half our team every single battle" thing. Of course, it's still kind of depressing that the old team was more powerful than a bunch of people in spirit-boosting kill machines. But hey, at least the Koubu are more defensively-oriented! Until they, uh, got torn apart by the Kouma.

I was following your LP back near the beginning, but kind of forgot about it until I happened to see it today. When you started this LP, I still had a semester and a half of college left to go, was still living in Florida, didn't have my car, didn't have my dog, and wouldn't meet my current girlfriend for another three months. I applaud you for your dedication, but suddenly feel very old.

Spirit Armor posted:Eh, Ogami's mech looks pretty good as it is. Besides, do you really WANT to give gigantic and functional wings to a tiny steam-powered mech? Not only would it As much as I would normally would I just watched Turkish star wars, so I am currently on an anime/live action high, so nothing is impossible... besides the wings would be something closer to a jet pack or steam powered energy wings like in Code Geass... What has my anime club done to me?

What the heck? This thing isn't done yet? I got pointed here by the LP recommendation thread a month ago, and I thought it had finished when I discovered the Anyway, awesome LP Spirit Armor, sorry I missed the voting, the guy who links things in emotes is weird and wrong, they changed Maria now she sucks, what else... Iris is still creepy, Spirit Armor is still awesome, the new demons look neat. Oh, and I want more

Most of which have not been found by some of the other people on here for the second emote linker (best way to describe it I thought). and no they are not weird and wrong they are only showing fan art that other people have done.

No, I didn't notice. After clicking one of the emotes the first time it was called out in the thread I didn't click any others out of fear of what would lurk behind.

I'd say we're overdue for a new update, if only to avoid too many bizarre images hidden behind emoticons.
